Abstract
A fast frequency-sweep technique is developed for the analysis of radio-fre quency coils for magnetic resonance imaging. This technique applies the met hod of asymptotic waveform evaluation to the moment method solution of the integral equation for the original physical problem. Numerical examples sho w that the proposed technique can speed up the analysis by more than an ord er of magnitude.
